SUS125 — Urban Agriculture
Add to HCC Favorites To grow or not to grow food? This may be out of the question for those living in cities, until now. This course will explore the urban setting through the eyes of sustainability. Students will be able to take their surroundings into consideration as sustainable food and farming is taught for city dwellers. Environmental and food injustice are far too common in inner cities and will be challenged in this course. Students will be equipped with the knowledge and experience to begin a new kind of revolution for the people. HCC’s very own Freight Farm will be the laboratory where students will gain experience with not only growing large amounts of food in small square footage, but also selling and distributing the food amongst the school community. The theories, practices, and politics of urban agriculture will be thoroughly inspected. Political, economical, social, and environmental concepts will be explored, along with the planning, development, and management of an urban agricultural system.
